Many teams feel an absolute nothingness as they are just getting on with the job of attending to the needs of the thousands of patients let down by the NHS and the forgotten promises of those in power. The patient suffers, the profession is stoic.

Associates ie those majority of those delivering high street dental care…. This is worth a read. You are assets, know your worth and demand a slice of the pie.

Really. This? Welcome to the shit show that is the US.

If you’re going to read 1 thing today… this is a fantastic piece by Paul Leavy summing up what is actually happening on the ground and why the NHS system is so broken. National commissioners might want to take notes…(or not as seems to be the norm) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Promises will not cure toothache: Action will. My message to government in The Times and The Sunday Times👇

Exactly this.

🇬🇧 'British Teeth' are a total myth. 🇺🇸Academics have found Americans of working age are missing more teeth. Decent care for the many beats 'Hollywood Smiles' for the few. But decades of progress is at risk unless Government promises on prevention and NHS dentistry are kept.

£91,346, plus expenses.

I would argue children aren’t skipping anything, it’s their parents who don’t want to either take advice, or action it leading to a huge detriment to their child’s oral health and well-being. Dental decay is in 99% of cases preventable. There needs to be shared responsibility

Hate nonsense polls like these. Yes, and let’s force private schools to take kids in from the state sector, lawyers to do pro bono work, force private medics to see NHS patients…if the public sector was fair and competitive this wouldn’t be an issue. This isn’t about money

Delusional. Defn:

White French surgeon Joel Le Scouarnec- pure scum. Sexually assaulting and raping 299 children. FBI were on to him when he PAID to watch someone online to rape a child. Where is the f-ing outrage? What if he was Algerian? Or Sudanese? Double standards. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth: December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia. February 2014, Russia invades

Fully welcome these common sense changes &congratulate Dentistry for campaigning the GDC for trying to create positive changes, can we also ask you consider use of language, tone &use of font/bolding when communicating with registrants as this can cause massive undue stress?

Abolishing NHSE &taking it back into DHSC is bitter sweet. Back to being a political football and I can’t see anything under Wes Streeting working but equally we finally stop paying the incompetent morons in central NHSE commissioning and there may FINALLY be accountability

How terribly sad so let’s try and fix this

I don’t know what’s sadder, the 20 a day smoker or the dental representative who had clearly not thought to consider the pertinent questions posed by the public … we need dentists to fight the cause who know how to articulate the issues

Important point NOT being made by BDA is that this is a failure of the system due to lack of access, NOT NHS dentists. 90%patients more than satisfied with hardworking NHS dental teams &care they receive. Can we be more accurate with the narrative-we are demoralised enough.

Just this.

A 53 year old WHITE British male ploughs into a crowd of people in Liverpool… how is this NOT terror related?! I, myself, am terrified. 🧐 I hope those27 people in hospital are ok 🙏🏽
